Girls in
Cruel Intentions 2 (2000)

Lightning-Rod Teen TV Phenom Gossip Girl Socks It to Stuffed Shirts. But When Will Its Starlets Open Theirs? And What’s the Connection to Girl-Girl Twincest and Amy Adams Going Lesbo?

"They're using nothing but sex to sell this program!" proclaimed Melissa Anderson of the Parents Television Council.

She was fuming on CNN in response to a new round of ads promoting the steamy teen TV sensation Gossip Girl.

One of the ads, in fact, uses a quote from the PTC itself—“Mind-blowingly inappropriate!”—emblazoned above two of its stars, who play high-school students, basking in what looks very much to be post-coital afterglow.

"Rather than reinforcing positive values that parents are trying to instill in their children," Anderson pressed on, "this program is very often undermining those positive values."

The PTC and other hand-wringers of the world are stating the obvious . . . the obviously awesome!

But did you know that back in 2000, watchdog groups got in a tizzy over moneyed NYC teens going wild on a boob-tube adaptation of Cruel Intentions—which featured a bisexual Amy Adams—and they actually pressured the Fox network before the show even aired?

Get the skinny—and some twincest action—after the jump.
